Last week we reveived from some
friend at Crab Orchard an account of
' Ihe burning of the D. M. Wheeler barn
It did not arrive until the Tuesday af
ternoon mail, which would have beer
too late for us to use last week. As
it chanced, however, we had secured
the facts substantially as written ana
had it already in type. We are grate
ful to that friends for his kindness,
but there are two points that he miss
ed. In the first place such matter
should be sent to us at the earliest
possible time after it happens and the
person writing the news item should
sign his or her name to the article.!
Not that we wish to publish the name,
but we must know who is doing the
writing as a matter of protection in
case anything is written that is unjust
to any one.
Send us the news; send it as QUICK
as possible; be SURE to sign your
name.

The man with the superior air was
a poetic business man. He generally
patronized a small lunchroom near hla
office. When he was not selling eggs
at wholesale or something, he liked to
read verse. His favorite was Tenny
son's "Idylls of the King." And be
cause he felt that he knew so much
about it he thought he would have a
little fun with the lunchroom wait
resses, in a superior sort of way.
It began by naming the girls after
the heroines in the poem. His regular
waitress was a tall, gaunt person, but
somewhat queenly as she bore down
on him with a plate of "hash. Her real
name was Sadie. -
"Sadie," he announced one sight,
"hereafter I'm going to call you
Guinevere. Mind?"
"I tmM wwr." KLt- 'St
ress, shifting her gum, "but who's
she?"
"The bride of King Arthur," was
the reply.
"Awri, but, I hone she's respectable.
I ain't seen that fillum."
So It went. AH the girls were prop
erly renamed. And then one day a
new waitress was on the Job. She
was small and dark. Exceedingly
pretty, he thought. f
"I haven't named you yet,"' he told
her after a couple of nights.
Then he explained his little indoor
sport.
"I'll let you be Elaine," he said.
"How ridiculous," she answered. "I
can't be Elaine."
"Why notr
"Tennyson says she was fair. I'm
a brunette. Elaine the fair, Elaine the
beautiful, Eldine the lily maid of Asto

Dinner-Plate Pennies.
Some of the first coins were enor
mous, the idea apparently being to dis
courage the preedy from attempting
to accumulate and carry around too
many of Ciem. There were copper
coins as lurge as dinner plates. This
inconvenient style had to give way to
the demand for smaller and more con
venient forms of currency, and the
giant pennies soon dwindled in size to
meet the popular demand.
The earliest trace of the use of gold
as money is to be found In the pic
tures of "the ancient Egyptians weigh
ing in scales heaps of rlng9 of the
precious metals. But there Is no actual
record that these rings were known
as coins with a fixed tralue.
